Watching third baseman Manny Machado's assault on the Orioles' record book really doesn't' tell us much about him we didn't already know -- he's a potential legend in the making.
Neither did it tell us much about some of those he's chasing, and passing -- Hall of Famers Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken Jr. But there's another name on those "fastest to" lists that might come as a surprise to the younger Orioles fans and serves as a reminder to the young old-timers set.
A lot of the kids and grandkids coming to games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards know Boog Powell mainly as the panda bear of a man who serves up the best baseball barbecue you can find. So when they hear the names Manny and Boog in the same sentence, they go to their main source of information -- their dads and/or granddads.
